Hi, I currently have FBSd and W2K living in harmony. I am not sure which boot loader I am currently using, but it is managing fine. I now want to add a new partition in the beginning of my disk and install windows 98. however, i am afraid i am going to wipe out freebsd--i mean make it unbootable. i am using partition magic to make the new partition in the first 500mb of my first hard drive. searching the archives, i see some nice tricks from recovering from mistakes in this kind of procedure. however, I want to do it right from the beginning. so i am inquiring now before i attempt the procedure. what is the proper way to add w98 to this os orgy? do i need to make a boot disk floppy to make sure that, if all else fails, at least the floppy can still boot my fbsd os? If I do indeed need to make a boot floppy, do I just use the image at <ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.4-RELEASE/floppies/>, or do I need to do something different? (ps--i also have boot magic, if that would make things easier) (pps--fbsd 4.4 release) thanks, eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
